This ode to the Clydesdale horses that worked Scottish farms for generations was written by Davy Steele (1948-2001) during his time as lead vocalist and guitarist with the Battlefield Band. The song highlights the passing out of use of Clydesdale horses in agriculture between the 1930s and 1960s as they were progressively replaced by tractors, a story Steele is reported to have been told by a bandmate who'd heard it described by a caller to a radio show. Clydesdales have since made a comeback as carriage horses and are often seen in parades, processions, and the Household Cavalry.
